The AI security question leaders should be asking insteadnew
Gremlin security officer Frederic Bull argues AI has eroded the attacker-defender skill asymmetry while least-privilege controls remain essential for securing AI agents.
In a Help Net Security interview, Gremlin Security Officer Frederic Bull says AI has narrowed the expertise gap between attackers and defenders, enabling faster exploit discovery even by less-skilled actors. His team processed roughly nine times more vulnerabilities in the past year with unchanged staffing using LLM-based tooling, cutting time-to-remediate by about 5%. He argues least privilege, session-based RBAC via OIDC/OBO, and human-in-the-loop oversight remain the bedrock defenses for AI agents, and that hiring should favor engineers able to catch confidently wrong AI output.

We've got one word for it, and it's usually the wrong one
Cisco Talos's Threat Source newsletter critiques 'burnout' terminology, describing four occupational injuries, and flags a UAT-10820 WebDAV stealer campaign at a Ukrainian government organization.
Cisco Talos's Threat Source newsletter argues that 'burnout' is the wrong word for most cybersecurity occupational harm, distinguishing exhaustion, secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and moral injury based on clinical literature from trauma-exposed professions. The featured disclosure describes a complex WebDAV infection chain found at a Ukrainian government organization, attributed with moderate confidence to the Russian-tracked actor UAT-10820 and assessed as an opportunistic cryptocurrency and credential-stealing operation. The campaign delivers the Amatera stealer alongside ZigCryptoStealer and NetSupport Manager, abusing BNB Smart Chain bulletproof hosting, fake CAPTCHA prompts, a vulnerable driver to kill EDR, and rundll32.exe execution of disguised DLLs with ordinal calls. Weekly headlines also cover a Microsoft Defender 'ShieldCrash' zero-day exploit released after September 2026 Patch Tuesday, a North Korean Linux espionage toolkit backdooring HAProxy, and a multi-hop Google-domain redirect phishing campaign.
